Re-direct

Hi All,

For the next two weeks I'll be on a charity ride to the heart of the Aussie outback. If you want to read more about the purpose of this ride, follow my whereabouts or just see some (hopefully) stunning images, please follow the link below:

Hope that your ride will be smooth as mine,

Cheers, Sagi

Battle of the Bands

Melbourne is a great, affordable place to hear some live music. That is, if you know what you'll wear that night...




































For me it was an easier task...




















We were hoping to hear this band, Miso, who were missing their 'vocalist' so they put up an instrumental show instead. The things you could get away in Australia... But they were really good, preforming live Balkan-trip-hop on stage.

















































The next band was The Red Eyes, a Reggae/Dub ensemble which took themselves way too seriously for a band of skinny Aussie musicians, supporting a really charismatic lead singer... But they've rocked the house for a couple of hours.

Quirky Melbourne

quirky, adjective:
informal terms; strikingly unconventional

quirk'i·ly adv., quirk'i·ness n., quirk'y adj.

The Graffiti decorated Hosier Lane has now became so famous that it is almost a must-see destination which, sadly, causes it to slowly lose its appeal to some of the local street artists, thought it's still pretty cool.




















Some of them are moving elsewhere, leaving their marks in more unusual places, like this one on the Myer department store's wall.



































While the pink pigeons are an endorsed artwork , the snickers aren't - according to the local urban myths, they mark the places in which drugs are bought and sold. If true, then this dealership is pretty cocky, about 20m from town hall and on one of the busiest street corners in town!




















Also next to city hall, an anti-nuclear demonstration with some would-be angels dropping by for a visit. Like so many other things, it seemed more convincing in Berlin...








































Finally, another Melburnian op-shop, which just keep creating the coolest compositions out there and making every photographer's life too easy but delightful...
